    Little Hotels Near Centro?

    I know some people who rent part of a house with no A/C for a few months for $300/month, but I suspect it is a little bit Mexican. And they have done it for years.

    Explain to me why you own your own tank(s)

    I'm guessing there isn't enough pressure in the system to blow up a tank in good condition. I have heard a steel 72 will explode at about 7000. The pressure disk should blow well before that. Anybody that plugs them probably knows what they are doing.

    Can't get the valves off my steel tanks

    Where are you in Mexico? I own a big adjustable wrench and a hammer in Mexico that I bought for that purpose. The air shop in Puerto Morelos doesn't believe in lubricant and it can be tough to get their valves off.

    Explain to me why you own your own tank(s)

    Using the tanks you like is one advantage. For me it is 35 miles to the nearest place I can get a fill and takes 2 trips so I have tanks and a compressor.

    Why is becoming a DM considered not worth it?

    Did you ever look into the weight difference between a full tank and an empty tank? Not hard to tell a full one from an empty one by lifting them.
